PRINCETON n. j., June 1l.-An important step
was taken by the faculty OF Princeton College last
night. For the last few weeks they have been con-
sidering what should be done in regard to the nu-
merOus new branches which have been and are

ton was reached that all these cannot be
brought into the college proper There are
not hours enough in the day for them, and IL
adopted they would greatly damage the solid old
branches, such us the classics, mathematics, and
philosophy; therefore they have come to the
unanimous conclusion that they must organize
postgraduate and university courses to be con-
summated IN university degrees. Before this de-
require the ra,incation OF the board OF trustees
II Is believed, however, that there viii be no DIM

OF Interest TO Contractor.
An OPINION OF TIE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND
COMMENT OF CAPT. SYNoNs.

An OrANIOS OF TIE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND A
COMMENT OF CAPT. SYNoNs-
The district attorney has given an opinion In the
case OF VIM. II. Mohler, who was awarded the con.
tract for laying certain pipe and brick sewers but
discovered that he had made an error in his esti-
mates and consequently refused to execute
his contract The question arose whether
or not his bond OF 81 900 should be returned, and
this was referred 70 the district attorney. The
opinion is to the effect that before Mohler
was notified OF the acceptance by the
District OF his bid. he informed the CON-
mfsSionersof the mistake he had made.
Mr.. Riddle says: i think this would release hun
and entttle him TO return or the deposit On the
that he could withdraw at any time before the
contract was signed, anyway. Both parties must
be bound, Or neither Is bound. Now,
under the law the District Is not
bound until all OF the Commissioners
have signed the contract We all think this is
conclusive" Capt. Symons thinks this is q rather
singular decision ana opens the way TO any amount
OF fraud.
